Once again, Donald Trump is politicizing the Justice Department, just like he promised he would as a candidate. Trump has given Attorney General William Barr sweeping authority to declassify information related to the Russian investigation. This move frightens the intelligence community. It endangers sources, methods, and threatens to manipulate the intelligence that's been gathered for... Continue Reading →
Shave Your Toadyism
William Barr is NOT acting as the Attorney General and is instead working as Donald Trump's personal defender. He deflected the Mueller Report. He held onto it for three weeks after he issued his misleading memo. When asked how Mueller felt about his memo, Barr lied and said he didn't know despite having received two... Continue Reading →
Transparent President?
For Donald Trump, claiming he's the "most transparent president ever," would be like saying you're honest while stealing from a charity. It'd be like saying you're a great businessman and writing a book called "Art of the Deal" during a decade of losing over a billion dollars. It'd be like saying, "I'm the least racist...

I Get Snitty For CNN

Snotty On Snitty
While mucking around in Georgetown on Thursday, I popped into the campus bookstore and for ten bucks, bought a copy of the Mueller Report. The only reason I had to purchase the thing is for posterity's sake. I bought a copy of the Starr Report when it first came out too (and believe it or... Continue Reading →
Snitty Redactions
Attorney General William Barr did not just mislead Congress and the American people. He lied. He is a liar and an obstructor helping the fraudulently elected president of the United States engage in a coverup. Barr sat on the Mueller Report for three weeks but released a summary stating Mueller wanted him, as Attorney General,... Continue Reading →
Trumpy’s Little Bunny
Here’s your weekly cartoon for CNN’s weekly newsletter, Provoke/Persuade. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday for the rest of your life. The Attorney General should act independently of the president. Trump's first AG was Jeff Sessions, a man who was on Trump's campaign team and had lied during his confirmation hearing. Sessions was actually... Continue Reading →
Fudged
The Mueller Report is not vindication or exoneration of Donald Trump. It paints Trump as a president who engaged in a coverup, attempted to obstruct justice, directed others to obstruct justice, and repeatedly lied to the American people. The very best and most honest summary Barr and Trump supporters can get from the report is... Continue Reading →
Department Of Conspiracies
Russia helped Donald Trump win the presidency. They created troll farms and bombed social media with fake stories to promote Trump. They bought ads to help Trump. They hacked the servers of the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton Campaign. They contacted the Trump campaign. They sent representatives to Trump Tower to meet with Trump's...

Putin Summary
I'm a cartoonist which means I don't do math well, but I do know two plus two equals four. Here's another equation that's not difficult to decipher: When Donald Trump goes from "release the Mueller Report" to "don't release it," and his toady Attorney General William Barr won't confirm if the White House has seen...
